In this month’s Mineral Rights News Episode for April 2022, we discuss a landmark case in North Dakota concerning compensation for the use of pore space. We ponder, is 20% of 0, still 0? In all seriousness, this case is an important one to watch as it could change the way underground pore space is treated. We also discuss the proposed Windfall Profits Tax which isn’t a tax on profits and how the SEC is looking to expand into environmental regulation with its new climate disclosure rule.
As always, Justin Williams joins me to provide the individual mineral owner perspective and we discuss our respective takes on each story to help you keep tabs on the latest happenings in the world of minerals and royalties.
